Congress ponders underwater alien civilizations, human hybrids, and other unexplained stuff
A recent session of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, titled "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth," delved into explosive allegations surrounding government knowledge of extraterrestrial technology and secretive projects involving alien technology dating back as far as the 1940s. The session, which ran for over two hours, included testimony from four whistleblowers who made detailed claims about concealed UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) technology, purported extraterrestrial encounters, and even suspicions of human-alien hybrid projects. The testimony stirred considerable interest among the public and lawmakers, raising questions about the extent of U.S. government knowledge on extraterrestrial intelligence and the implications of any confirmed contact.
Luis Elizondo, a former Department of Defense official and key figure in recent UAP investigations, claimed that highly advanced technology—beyond the capabilities of any known government—has been monitoring sensitive military sites across the globe. Elizondo further alleged that the U.S. government is not only aware of these technologies but is actively working on developing similar capabilities in secret. He described this as a multi-decade, clandestine arms race, funded by what he characterized as "misallocated taxpayer dollars" and hidden from both elected representatives and oversight bodies. These statements suggest that some government factions may be operating with minimal accountability in their pursuit of extraterrestrial technologies.
Retired Rear Admiral Dr. Tim Gallaudet provided additional insights, sharing an incident from 2015 involving the U.S. Navy. During a naval training exercise, pilots aboard an F/A-18 Super Hornet captured a UAP in what has since been called the "Go Fast" video—a brief, declassified clip that shows an unidentified object moving at extraordinary speeds. Gallaudet described the incident as unsettling, explaining that a fleet operations officer had raised concerns over multiple near-midair collisions with UAPs during the exercise. According to Gallaudet, the officer sent out an email voicing the need for an urgent response to these encounters, yet the email mysteriously vanished the next day, fueling concerns about deliberate information suppression within the military.
Perhaps the most sensational query came from Representative Lauren Boebert, who asked the panelists if they had any knowledge of rumors suggesting that the Department of Defense was involved in genetic experiments with extraterrestrial materials to enhance human capabilities—essentially, creating human-alien hybrids. Although the panelists denied having direct knowledge of such projects, Boebert’s question reflected longstanding conspiracy theories about hidden genetic engineering programs purportedly aimed at creating hybrid entities with unique abilities. Boebert also inquired about reports of UAPs emerging from the ocean, speculating on the possibility of underwater alien bases. Journalist Michael Shellenberger noted that sightings of UAPs appearing to rise from below the water’s surface have been reported but did not confirm any evidence of underwater bases.
The House hearing was partly motivated by the latest report from the Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which oversees UAP research. AARO’s report analyzed 118 cases within its 2024 reporting period, attributing all of them to identifiable causes such as balloons, drones, birds, and other prosaic objects. The report's conclusions suggested that many UAP sightings have earthly explanations, although its findings were somewhat anticlimactic for those hoping for confirmation of extraterrestrial activity. By May 31, 2024, AARO reported that 174 additional cases had been reviewed and resolved similarly, concluding these incidents as attributable to mundane objects, including unmanned aerial systems, weather phenomena, and various aircraft.
This hearing reflects a shift in how the U.S. government addresses UAP-related inquiries, which were historically dismissed or downplayed. By holding such discussions in an open forum, the House Committee has acknowledged the importance of investigating these reports and provided a platform for whistleblowers to share their experiences. It also raises broader questions about the relationship between governmental secrecy, national security, and the public’s right to information, especially regarding phenomena that, if proven extraterrestrial, would profoundly affect humanity’s understanding of life beyond Earth.
